講義概要/Course description
This course will help students develop the skills necessary to speak and debate in public.  Debate is highly useful because it helps to develop the necessary competence to communicate effectively in English and also helps to prepare students for global citizenship.  As the course progresses, students will learn how to prepare arguments for and against a position on a topic, listen to ideas critically, and to speak persuasively on a topic.  Four aspects of speaking and debating will be emphasized: language, content, delivery, and critical thinking.  This course will be of interest to students with good English oral communication skills who want to challenge their public speaking skills and  wish to improve their critical thinking skills.
達成目標/Course objectives
Students will develop critical thinking skills, learn how to develop, explain, and expand a clear argument with supporting points and examples, and find weaknesses in opposing arguments.
